Is there anyway to remove the stock messaging icon? I use SMS Pro for texting and would like to replace it with the SMS Pro icon. Is this possible?
Hint! Press settings inside the app.

You can change the dock icons by going into the app drawer, press menu, view type, and select customizable grid. Then you can drag which ever app you want to replace the stock app. I then switch it back to alphabetical grid, but that isn't necessary

All stock apps cannot be uninstalled unless you root the phone.

Huh? I've done that and see no option to remove the stock icon, unless I am overlooking it. Could I get another hint?

Be careful ... uninstalling stock apps can have unintended consequences and issues. Its best to hide them in a folder, or ignore them.

Go into settings and disabled notifications. If you trying to remove the icon from the dock, againg press menu inside the appdrawer. Custom arrangement, drag and drop. Hint! There's a hidden settings in every app by pressing the menu button.

Thanks for all the help. I didn't uninstall the stock SMS program, just replaced the icon with the SMS pro icon.

Can this be done? Without having to drag them all out and then in again, in the right order.

No, you can't.
try appZorter, it let you sort applications. As I've tested it with the stock TouchWizz, it's ok and sort files in folders too.

Or try another app launcher, like Nemus Launcher.
It is a free app from the Market.
Is there a way to change the icons on the bottom of the phone? The ones right above the capacitive buttons.

You should be able to hold and drag any icon out of the the app drawer right on them.
Edit:maybe not

If you just want to change out the apps, open your app drawer, hit the menu button and select edit. From there it's just drag and drop.
If you want to change the actual icon of the existing app, then you need to use something like APKtool to decompile, edit and recompile the app.

Not sure about the stock launcher but if you change launchers most have way you can swap what's there or replace the image. I usually clear them out and use desktop Visualizer to change them. Drag and drop

My first SGS so dont be an ass about it
Can the app icon be moved ?
tried long press with no luck.. is there some trick with the SIII
Pretty sure you would have to use another launcher if you wanted to remove/change it
thought that mite be the case just wanted to make sure...
thanks
Try APEX. You will love it!!! I bought the pro version (it's like $3 or $4) so I can get swipe gestures off the icons as well.
Custom mode. Press menu in the app drawer

I searched for this too. Using Titanium Backup you can "Freeze" the app labeled "Power" under Backup/Restore. This will get rid of the notification button, but will also remove the "Battery" list in your android settings. I just downloaded a different battery app or widget to replace it.

Download the MoDaCo Toolkitfrom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245765
Then select enable button options. If you long press a notification you then receive a prompt to either force close or disable notifications. Thats what I did works great!
When I try to remove the stock text app icon from the bottom dock on a stock T-Mobile HTC One, it only gives me the option to "Uninstall" it. I don't want to uninstall it, I just want to replace the icon with my Google Voice app.
is there a way too do that? I didn't see anything in the stickies.

That's funny! It sounds so bizarre it just might work. I'll try it.
